Zymarium Meadery

Mead!!! The best place for mead in Orlando. If you haven't had mead you're missing out on the experience that Zymarium Meadery provides. If you have had mead then this is your next destination for your taste buds. The atmosphere is choice! It provides a cool yet calming experience of laid back alternative vibes provided by the staff members and the surrounding environment. Amazing music and cool staff members who will meet and raise your expectations for the evening!!

First time trying Mead! The drinks are very sweet but good. The place has a chill vibe. Worth visiting if you want to try something different.

Charming spot with unique offering. Atmosphere is fantastic for date night. I am not a fan of mead so I was pleasantly surprised that they did have other affordable options. In my case, I took a red wine while accompanying a very enthused mead drinker who adores the place. Spent $20 on both including tip.

This is a terrific meadery. Quite honestly, they offer is the best meads I've ever had (and I've had quite a few 😉). The vibe is upscale and glitzy, the owners are friendly and approachable. The staff was warm and very helpful with suggestions. Definitely goes on my short list of places to go specially with friends new to the area.

You haven't visited Zymarium yet?! Definitely give this beautiful establishment, with their amazing meads, a try. An awesome place to celebrate a special occasion, to bring out-of-town guests, or to just hang out. Before you leave, check out their fridge with bottled meads. We bought three different flavors for our friends to try at a dinner party. So much fun to experience very different and delicious meads.

Wonderful selection of meads! The servers did a great job filling us in on what’s what. I got the build your own flight. The applie pie was my favorite. You think it won’t be enough but the meads stronger than you think! Will for sure return in the future to try more options!

Really tasty mead and friendly, knowledgeable staff. The different kinds of mead all taste very unique, strong notes of the flavors they list as well. In particular, the orange blossom mead, the coffee mead, and the ube noir mead were my favorites. This is more a good spot to sample different meads, they tend to be on the pricier side of things but they’re very high quality.

Some friends and I tried here on a recommendation. The decor was very much thought out, and as a first-timer, it was an interesting experience. I landed on the lychee mead as my drink of choice. If this is your first experience, I would definitely recommend speaking with any of the staff. They were so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process and offered samples! I would definitely try here again.

Such a great meadery that is modern with trendy flavors. Being at other meaderies that were more traditional, I prefer this one above all else! Got some samples of the ones that really interested me and they were all great but had to land on the Ube seasonal Slushies because I couldn't get a sample of that unfortunately. I am glad I committed to a glass of it because it was refreshing and delicious. Definitely a dessert in a cup and more balanced than the Ube noir, which I was informed it was super sweet and super dark Ginger, part owner, was so sweet and informative about everything foodie, Mills50 and her Meadery. Ria and Alex were also meadtenders that night and can tell they like their jobs and enjoy being there. Such a nice environment to be surrounded by. Thank you Ginger for explaining your whole concept of your meadery and the excellence that you bring to it. Nice to know that you have awesome events like having a bee keeper educational seminars and honey makers to share their knowledge. They have great space for events and a nice outdoor area. What a pot of honey gold they have here If you have tried other meaderies or curious about honey made alcohol, I would say you must stop by here and give this one a shot!

LOCAL REVIEW: Zymarium Meadery is a cozy place with a chic, low-light interior. The customer service is very good as the servers are happy to educate guests about mead. There are enough options to leave you coming back to try more! The location is easy to find, but it does not seem to have dedicated parking (unless I missed it). There is a parking lot but it seemed more like it is for Hawkers next door. Be prepared to park there or look for street parking. What I enjoyed most was that the menu is easy to understand thanks for an explanation from the servers. I have visited twice and they are consistent in their explanation. They also seem happy to let you browse the menu yourself or make suggestions. The space is large but the seating is cozy. We loved the velvet seats and beautiful lighting. It's a great place to enjoy unique mead flavors and catch up with friends/family. The atmosphere makes you feel like you should be more dressed up, but I visited once looking very casual (athleisure) and I did not feel any judgment for it. There is even a secret space in the back of the room, somewhat hidden. There was an event that booked it while we visited and we couldn't even tell it was there. It looked like a cool space! On my two visits, my friends and I have enjoyed: - Ube Mead - Very sweet and slightly carbonated. The Ube flavor really shines through. I loved it! But it was too sweet for some. - Lychee Mead Slushy - Delicious! A tropical, honey flavor. - Endless Black Current - More similar to wine, but the black current flavor really comes through. - Brood Coffee - At first sight, a little odd that a coffee flavored beverage is a golden yellow. But when you smell it and taste it, the coffee flavor is definitely there. Less sweet, but you can still taste some of the honey mead flavor. My only reason to knock off a star is because I wish there were some little bar snacks. The mead is nice to sip on, so I wished there were some little snackies to munch on too. Thankfully Mills is not in short supply of food though, so this Meadery is in the perfect location to complement a night out around Mills.

Our order: Mead flight (server's choice: Miel de Miel, Florida Lychee, Limequat, Endless Black Currant, and Little Econ River) The Review: It is not every day that something is on draft for those of us who are gluten-free. Mead is a gluten-free, honey-based fermented (and alcoholic) beverage. I really enjoyed the lighter options: Miel, Lychee, and Limequat, so I'd love to explore that side of the menu. The ambiance inside of Zymarium was cool, dark, and magical, lending to an ethereal mead experience. I had never tried mead, but after this visit, I am certainly excited to come back and try more things.

"Dry to sweet, traditional to modern, gluten-free and local honey." Their motto reflects their mead on tap! Although there is limited parking, the quality of their med is worth going there early to grab a spot. The place is clean and pretty dark; not a kid-friendly environment. Our favorite mead was the Lychee Mead. Come with your bank... we spent almost $200 here for the two of us!

My husband loves mead, so when I saw Zymarium one day on my way home from work, I knew we had to try it! Zymarium is a stand alone structure in the Mills 50 district of downtown Orlando. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but they do have a larger designated parking lot close by. The interior is very sleek in mostly black with some gold light fixtures. Once you enter, you are warmly greeted and welcomed to take a seat wherever you choose. When you're ready to order, you may do so via the QR code on the table or by going up to the bar. The mead offerings are plentiful and made in house. You are welcome to bring in your own food, but they do have a small charcuterie box that you can order as well. My husband chose a flight of five meads and fell in love with the Endless BlackBerry so we purchased a bottle. I don't drink, but they had a handful of non-alcoholic offerings to choose from and I enjoyed the ambiance and friendly staff. We'll definitely be back!

Immediately upon walking in there was a unique and relaxed vibe about the place. Very different from traditional noisy bars. Sleek. Quiet. Well decorated and themed around honey, but tasteful. The backdrop was made with honeycombs and the coasters were honeycombs too. Little touches like that added to the uniqueness. Bartenders explained everything to us since we had never been here. They were helpful but not pushy. We were able to sample a few before deciding. My friend and I split a create-your-own mead flight. It an allowed us to try five different flavors and types. I was a fan of the sparkling meads. The traditional meads were a bit too sweet and syrupy for me. The ube and the spicy pineapple habanero were my two favorites. Delicious and unique. It was a fun night out trying something new. Oh and all of the meads are made in-house using local Florida honey!

Their meads are next-level, beautifully crafted, complex, and unlike anything you'll find elsewhere. Each pour is a perfect balance of flavor and creativity, with a rotating selection that keeps things exciting. The atmosphere is inviting, the staff is incredibly knowledgeable, and you can tell they're passionate about what they do. Whether you're a mead enthusiast or trying it for the first time, this place will impress. Definitely a must-visit!

I FINALLY made it into Zymarium this week for the first time and WOW -- I can't believe it's taken me so long to get here. I got pregnant right when they opened last year, so this place has been on my list to try for quite awhile. I'm loving the red lighting and spooky vibes for the Halloween season right now. I felt like I stepped into a sexy vampire's lair. I've only tried mead once in my life and I was excited to learn more about it and try lots of different flavor profiles. My friend and I sat at the bar and the friendly staff gave us a rundown of the menu and poured us some water. They also have a seasonal "Dark Ritual" menu right now featuring some fun Halloween meads. They allow you to sample any flavors that you want before committing which I really appreciate. We decided to try a flight of all 5 Halloween meads and a signature flight of their suggested most popular meads. Zymarium took us on a flavor rollercoaster and we had a blast trying them all. They all ranged from sweet to dry and are made with honey from varying locations. The Halloween flight was definitely more on the sweet side with lots of cozy fall flavors. I think my favorite out of the 5 was the Scarlet Magick which is made with hibiscus and is actually a collab with Hunger Street Tacos. My two favorites from the signature flight were the first one (I forgot the name), but it's similar to a dry white wine and the pineapple habanero was AMAZING! I can see why that one is so popular, especially if you like a little spicy kick. I also sampled the Florida Lychee which I can't wait for my husband to try because I know he's going to love it. I was happy to learn that they have their mead available in bottles and cans so you can take it to go. I'll definitely be stopping in more often to scoop some up to enjoy at home!

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally went with some friends. I immediately loved the ambience, very cool vibe. Loved that they had some spooky season decor also! Our server greeted us and made sure we had water at the table and understood options to order (you can order via QR code or go up to the bar). She was very nice and happy to answer questions. I had to go with the Halloween flight that had five different meads to try. I really enjoyed all of them with my favorite being the baklava inspired Witch of Persia. I also tried one of their regular menu items, (jungle something, I can't remember the entire name), and it was also very tasty. This is would be an awesome date spot or special occasion spot. The prices are a bit on the high side imo, but if you only want a glass or two, you should be fine. I'd definitely return.

This place has had my heart since the last Yelp Event last year. Unfortunately life got so busy and we didn't get to visit til today! Don't be like us... go! And try something different yet so delicious! This place is so perfectly curated to all things honeys and bees and I am genuinely obsessed. The staff is absolutely so welcoming and so informative of the different mead options they have.

Yum! Love mead! Staff was very helpful and friendly, inside was super elegant and made the experience superior. They'll provide samples, and assist you in finding your perfect flavor. I appreciate the half glass/whole glass options.

We had never been here before, but we heard amazing things about this location and since we are in the area, we knew we had to check it out. Let's begin with the ambience as this place is absolutely stunning. Very sleek very modern design. It is dark inside, but it completes the whole aesthetic and vibe of this location. We absolutely loved it. Next, let's talk about their mead! They have so many different varieties from still to slightly carbonated to reserve labels and a wide variety of flavors to choose from. My husband opted for a 2 ounce poor of the blackberry and found it to be absolutely perfect. Not overly sweet, but you still got the essence of the blackberry that came through really easy drinker. I decided to try a flight as I could not decide on simply one or another. They have a couple of different flight options that you can choose from, you can create your own or you can do one of the predesigned flights or currently they have a deal going on for $50. That is a flight of their older means that have been aging and resting to celebrate their birthday. I offered to create my own flight so I could try a little bit of everything that I wanted to I ended up trying their most popular one, which is the Florida lechee and it easily became one of the favorites for both my husband and myself. I also tried the lake echo one which was a little bit dry on my taste buds - not my favorite. I also tried the apple pie and the cherry pie and found that both were really good. The tartness of the cherries definitely comes through on the cherry pie one. And then the last one I tried was their raspberry reserve. This became my absolute favorite. I really really enjoy the flavor here as it was not overly sweet, but enough, sweetness to make it very enjoyable. I actually was very surprised that their flight came with five and I think because of the higher alcohol content of mead, they could easily go with just four - my husband had to help me finish my flight. lol Really enjoyed our experience and will certainly be back!

If you have tried Mead before and didn't like it - you need to stop in here and try it again. It was SO SO SO delicious and I even bought some cans to have at home. We came in and sat at the bar where we were greeted right away and got lots of information about how the menu is set up and the different types of mead they have available. We shared a flight to try some different types so we could see what style/flavors that we preferred. My favorites were the Lychee and the Ube. There are lots of booths around and the decor is pretty simple, but looks great. They also have some food items if you need some munchies. We already had dinner before stopping in so didn't try any food on this visit. Again - give it a shot and you won't be disappointed!

What a surprise. I have tried mead and it was not for me. I tried at a different place and it was OK. We did a flight and I have to say..."OK so THIS is how it's supposed to be" The staff was super friendly and helpful. You can get a 2 or 4 oz pour and the menu does a great job of explaining which types of mead you are getting. Some have carbonization and some do not. The staff was great at describing what similar things the different meads tasted like. They had 2 food offerings a charcuterie from Feme du Fromage and a cookie from Phat Ash Bakes. Kudos for supporting other local businesses ! I wish there were a few more snacking options but overall this was a great experience !

One of the coolest bars you'll find in Orlando. We tried Zymarium's Ube Noir at Kaya and immediately knew we had to pick some up for home (!!!). Lucky for us, they were still open that same night. Would highly recommend visiting if you're in town. I'm a mead NOOB. I don't know much other than that, every time I have it, I realize I prefer it so much more to beer and wine-- yet can never find it outside of the occasional specialty stores. A curse indeed ;_; So as you can imagine, discovering Zymarium was mind-blowing-- 1.) a meadery exists in Orlando (the first, in fact) and 2.) mead can have this insane degree of flavor diversity. Lychee and pineapple habanero??? They have it down to an art. Joe is a mead wizard. Their Ube Noir tastes exactly like ube. Literally as though you juiced an ube (can you do that?) More like ube than ube tastes like ube. And their Florida Lychee? A sparkling, delicate delight. Must-try if you like lychee. This doesn't even scratch the surface of their repertoire. I'm already looking forward to our next visit. NOTE: 10% discount if you purchase a case (24 cans)!

TOP date night spot, friends spot, vibey, dark ambiance, chill night type of place. I've never disliked anything from here. The mead is always yummy and they always do fun themed drinks and decorations for halloween or christmas. Fave place hands down!

Never had mead before? Well now's the time to try it since Zymarium Meadery has opened in Winter Park. Stop on in and you can get samples of different mead variations ranging from bubbly, dry, or sweet. The ambiance is very modern and relaxing with great staff that are super helpful. It was not very busy when they opened which was nice and it looked like they had a good amount of seating space. The prices for the mead vary based on strength and the size of the pour. It can be pricey for some but still not an outrageous price or anything. Plus the mead is so delicious that I believe it is worth it to try at least, especially the deliciously sweet Ube Mead. I think we will be back at some point.

Delicious mead. Cool and cozy ambience. Not too crowded. Good volume for mood music. We WILL be going back!! Tip to the business owners: more options for purchases to go desperately wanted! Namely, the triptych nectar!

Zymarium has easily become one of my favorite places in Downtown Orlando. They have such a unique story, offer an amazing experience and the most delicious mead you'll ever have. I've visited Zymarium a few times now, and they're menu changes often depending on the mead they have available. Not only do the owners make the mead with locally-sourced honey, but they've also designed the whole place themselves, and let me tell you, they've done a wondrous job. They have set flights so you can try a wide variety of meads, but you can also build your own flights. Zymarium is open seating, there's plenty of space like community tables for big groups or even comfy couches an intimate gathering. The menu is on a QR code designated to the spot your at, so you just order on your phone and they bring it out to you. They don't offer food, but you're welcome to bring food from outside. Since it's right next to Hawkers, my boyfriend and I love to order to-go from there and bring it over to Zymarium. My favorite meads so far have been the Florida Lychee, Pineapple Passionfruit, and even Pineapple Habanero. I like meads that are on the fruity, sweeter side, like the three I named. They also sell select meads in bottles and cans for you to take home. I will never stop talking about how much I love this place, and I recommend it to anyone looking to try out a new place downtown!

"I feel the need... the need for Mead!" No, not the 5 subject college ruled notebook, the drink! And if you're feeling that need too, then (Tom) Cruise over to Mills and check out this amazing new-in-2023 bar where they're serving up some delicious American Made craft mead. "Sometimes, you gotta say, What the F#*!", like I did as I knew nothing about mead before I entered. I left knowing a bit more as my Eyes were Wide open, not Shut. "I wanted the truth" about Mead! I refrained from screaming "Show me the Honey" as I was perusing the menu. After talking to the bartenders, I was trying to put together a flight of 5 and I found myself going back and forth like a bee in a dandelion field. I liked on the menu how they listed where the honey came from. After some deliberation, I finally decided (with some additional help). The bartenders were super helpful in deciding. They weren't busy twirling bottles around and pouring the mead from 5 feet into the air into a glass pyramid waterfall like they're in the movie Cocktail. They just politely poured the meads from the Taps (no, not the movie Taps). I didn't feel like an Outsider at all. 4 of the 5 I ordered were golden, like "The Color of Honey". The Blueberry one was dark blue. They have some that are sparkling (like champagne) and some that are not (still mead). They range from dry to sweet (like wine) and I learned that I like the ones on the dry side more than the super sweet ones. I enjoyed them all and also had a sample of one aged in a Brazilian Amburana barrel, which tasted amazing with a woody finish. The Brazilian was smooth, which was expected. I luckily sat at the end of the bar, leaving the obligatory bar stool between me and the people next to me. I turns out, that it's none other than Ginger, who owns this place along with her husband, Joe (great name, he has to be awesome, right?). She overheard me ordering and we started talking and she was explaining the meads and the nuances of each. She did the design of the space and wow, she did an amazing job. "Mission Accomplished!" I finally tried Mead. It opened in July 2023 (Born on the Fourth of July?) and it took me 7 months to give it a try. I even braved the Rain, Man. I plan on going back as Ginger indicated some new meads are coming soon, so I'm guessing they rotate some in and out. Go on a rainy day like I did, or when there's a Vanilla Sky (Wait, that's Penelope Cruz, not Tom).

What an amazing place. All the meads were AMAZEBALLS! The bathrooms were so so trippy as they were pitch black with only a black light to point the way.

Date Night at Zymarium Super calm, cool and collected vibes. Like no one's here which is great; it's quiet. I got the strawberry guava made first and the strawberry guava is clean cut to the finish it's very light. Next I got the lychee mead which has Florida honey from Lakeland in it. This is our second time here and it's very peaceful on a Wednesday night; I might frequent here! Our service was super quick the man behind the bar was very nice and I decided to open a tab. Definitely recommend coming here - it's off of Mills 10/10

This beautifully dark aesthetic inside with black honeycomb tiles has a very chill vibe to goes along well with meads. The service is pleasant, if you've never been they explain what they serve and how to order. Very nice people. You can bring in food or have it delivered as they don't serve much but a small charcuterie plate. You can take select flavors home in a cans.

Really cool decor in this place, very cool. Tried a sampler of a variety of drinks on offer. Good description of what to try from the staff, and liked that you are able to grab some of your favorite tipples to take home.

Okay this is a must-visit. Seriously. Not only is it the only Meadery in the area and it's a gluten free establishment, but it's an absolute total VIBE. You can tell they took their time to beautifully craft the inner world of Zymarium. To me the interior design is both moody and elegant. It oddly reminds me of a chocolate emporium with its fine details. Aside from the environment, the Mead is quite delicious and I was able to sample a few to get to the winner. They all vary by their sweetness and dryness, like a wine. It was my first time trying Mead and the bartender did a great job explaining all there was to know. If you want to experience something unique and downright cool, plan a visit ASAP!

New mead in Orlando! This new Meadery is located in Mills 50. Refined and sophisticated with extensive menu of meads. Great atmosphere and friendly staff is the perfect place to have a drink with friends. First time trying meads and I love it. They have a great selection of meads and wines. I order a flight of meads the every honey is unique which include Florida fall,Orange nectar, black morigrove and eucalyptus blossom. They also have an option you can pick your flavors or orcher individually. We also order Florida Lychee which is one of their popular, guava and their holiday mead Coquito. Love all of them and would like to come back to try other of their meads. They also have menu of food, it is a small menu. Parking is very limited, they have a small parking on the back of their building only few spaces. But you can park along Mills 50.

Zymarium Meadery is incomparable to any other place in the city! Officially the first meadery in Orlando, this place is not only unique in terms of drinks but also offers an exceptional experience in itself. My husband and I both aren't beer drinkers. While I love dry wines, he simply can't stand them. Solution? ZYMARIUM MEADERY. Made from honey, this place showed us that mead is the perfect middle ground. With meads ranging from sweet to dry, I assure you that there's something here to satisfy all of your taste buds. The staff was extremely friendly. They guided us through the entire menu, offered samples, and provided great recommendations. The interior decor creates a special vibe (reminiscent of dark space and galaxies) that sets the perfect ambiance for your next date night or hangout with friends. While I tried several meads, I would have to say that my favorite sweeter meads were Florida Lychee and Endless Raspberry: Tupelo Reserve. For drier meads, I enjoyed Miel de Miel and Florida Fall Prologue. Zymarium Meadery is truly a unique experience that is a great addition to the Mills area!

Zymarium Meadery What a cool place.  I love all the honey combs.  The black industrial vibe.  And the cool music.  Black and gold throughout. I sat at the bar on a Friday night and got good service.  It was still early around 6:30p so it was about a 1/4 full. The session meads are lower ABV and I am finding I prefer them better. Did a flight of 5, 3 sessions and 2 still and with the sessions I could pick out the flavors.  With the stills all I could taste was sweet honey. The Mead: Mango Lassi 6.5% ABV tropical mead - decent, has an after taste that I didn't care for.  The mango is nose forward. Florida Lychee 6.5% ABV tropical mead - absolutely delicious.  9ne 9f the best meads I've ever had. Madagascar Blueberry 6.5% ABV heavily fruited mead-   I liked this.  You can taste the strong berry flavor and has a bubblegum after taste. Coconut Grove 11% ABV sweet Coconut mead - meh Barrel Aged Tupelo "Cachaca" 16% traditional mead - meh I think this is a wonderful place to visit.

The attention to detail in their mead was evident in every sip. Each glass was a delightful blend of flavors, taking my taste buds on a journey I won't soon forget. The staff was very helpful and attentive at the moment of making up my mind. They have a really nice atmosphere, that helps a lot to sit down and enjoy their delicious meads. I had a mead flight and some other sips What I had? - Florida Fall Prologue - Mango Lassi - Guava Pastelitos - Barrel-Aged Tupelo Cachaça - Hazelnut Coffee Grove

No food at this location but we did get to delight ourselves with was the mead!!! In such a ease environment, where you feel welcome, and the vibes are just right. Zymarium really steps up the game. First mead bar. And what a statement they have been able to establish. The service is very cater, Joe and Ginger really are amazing hosts. And we felt right at home. They walked us through all their docent types of mead. And we enjoyed the grant majority. the favorite was definitely the Lychee!! Come and check them out. It's sure to leave you wanting more. Jan C

COQUITO MEAD!!!!! I almost cried. Because why have we not been making coquito with mead. This is amazing one of the best coquitos I've had. OMG I was so hype to write about the coquito that I almost forgot the other great seasonal mead. The barrel aged French toast- it's syrup. Seriously it is like drinking maple syrup. I want a half pour to bring home and pour on French toast for real. I sip this in between the mango lassi and coquito and had a great experience. The Mango Lassi was thique this time, I was mad about it though. It was like a smoothie fruited beer, which I enjoy. Great visit as always

We got extremely lucky and nabbed one of the two parking spots just out back, there are more spots just across the street. We decided on the flight and if you design your own, you save $3.00. Miel de Miel is a dry champagne style mead that is very dry and true to their menu tastes similar to a dry champagne. Would get again! And at $5.25 for a 5 oz and $8.50 for a full 10 oz. It is a bargain!!! Next up was the Soliloquy of Nectar: Black Mangrove $6.50/$10.50. Sweet traditional mead with notes of caramel and butterscotch. I tasted blackberry and honey, my husband swears he tasted the notes? Third was the Hazelnut Coffee Grove - Florida Black Mangrove blossom honey mead aged on Lineage decaffeinated Colombia Coffee beans, toasted hazelnuts, and blend of oak. Hubby says, "it gently whispered in his ear "coffee" and a few moments later screamed, "Coffee"! In a good way! Endless Blueberry is a heavily fruited mead which has only Southern Highbush Blueberries and rare Holly Blossom Honey, Aged in Oak. $8.50/$15.75. Closest to drinking Lower sugar blueberry syrup in a good way ;) Barrel-aged French Toast! $8.50/$16.75 would go well On French toast! Very, very sweet! If you don't like rich, sweet, honey! Do not order! The menu states, "buttery Vermont Dark maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon. The flavor is there but again you have to love rich/sweet taste. The atmosphere is dark, rich and clean! The staff is exceptional and warm/friendly (cannot ask for better). I will be coming back!

This place is awesome. I'm not a mead guy by any standard. But everything here I had was good. They sort the listing in dryness to sweet and it was on point. Prices weren't terrible, especially if you consider that it's rare to see draft mead. I got the lychee mead and it was flavorful and delicious. Definitely a good spot to start the night if you're roaming mills 50 since this place does close at midnight.

This is one of those places where I could spend hours imbibing the delicious meads and listening to the amazing playlist. The place itself is gorgeous and very well decorated, and I feel very comfortable here. The first time I came, I sat at the bar and had a few tasters, and after many pours, I absolutely obsessed with the lychee mead. I can't believe that a drink made out of honey could be so delicious. The service is amazing and very friendly, the meads are delicious, the place is one of the coolest in Orlando, I can't imagine anyone not stopping by for a drink here.

I got a great impression of this place the moment I walked in. The dark ambiance with black walls, seats, and tables makes it super sophisticated, innovative, and unique. A spot that you could expect to find in places like Chicago or NYC. The owner has been making mead since 2014 and has won awards (apparently they are one of the top 10 mead producers in the world) over the years, which is quite impressive. They use honey sourced from places usually within 2 hours of Orlando like Lakeland and Clermont, so come here if you like supporting local businesses like me :) It was hard to decide which mead I would try first but the waiter, after explaining their menu and seeing my analysis paralysis, graciously offered samples. I sampled 3 carbonated meads (they were mildly carbonated, which I liked), Florida Lychee and Figures of Oblivion, and a third one that resembled cava brut. They were all tasty but I decided to go with the Figures being the most well-balanced of the 3. Since I was just stopping by, I only had one drink but will probably order a flight next time. Tip: They are closed Mon - Wed, their website says that outside food is welcome, and they have off-site parking at The Vein & Cardiovascular Center.

The Zymarium Meadery taproom was years in the making, and after several delays, they finally opened their doors recently. I was fortunate to participate in their soft opening in August 2023 as our mutual friend is a bottle club member. We spent that Saturday afternoon experiencing tremendous meads that brought me to a place of terrific tantalization. The turnstile of mead options allowed me to bask in a synergy of different flavors for both session and still meads. I found myself wanting to prance around naked in the taproom -- but I kept that feeling all inside. The black-painted walls and goth and industrial interior were quite open-spaced between the bar and the rest of the taproom area. There are booths, tables, and lounge seating that can house quite a few people, which, based on their mead production, should need the space to accommodate. We drew some terrific meads from the menu, such as the Florida Lychee, Golden Helix, Figures of Oblivion, Mango Lassi, and Madagascar Blueberry session meads that allowed me to elevate to a place of spiritual purity and strength, strength and spiritual purity. From the still side, we enjoyed pours of Soliloquy of Nectar black mangrove, SoN orange blossom, coconut grove, vanilla espresso 431, and endless blueberries. The Miel de Miel, Laura Palmer, Florida Fall Prologue, Rhizome, and Barrel-Aged Tupelo Cadecha were also quite tasty, while Soliloquy of Nectar Lelua Blossom was fire burning a bonfire of natural desire inside of me. The Florida lychee mead was pure ecstasy before we concluded the tasting with a reserve bottle of endless cherry pie mead that was magical, very magical. If you live in the Orlando area, or like visiting breweries and meaderies, Zymarium should be on your list hands down.

There's a new meadery in town and my and I checked it out last night during their soft opening! Zymarium uses local honey to make their mead. Did you know mead is also gluten free? They have two types- they have still traditional meads with higher ABV and session meads that are lower ABV and carbonated (I preferred the session). What we tried: Madagascar Blueberry Mango Lassi Golden Helix Florida Lychee Coconut Grove Sparkling Honey Soda (non-alc) This was my first time trying mead and it was a fun experience! We even tried mixing up our own concoctions . The honey soda with the blueberry and coconut mead worked... I will be back.

Woah (insert Joey's voice from Blossom) ... This place has a vibe and I'm here for it. The aesthetic is everything........black and gold everywhere. Beautiful bar and booth seating. Their team is friendly, inviting and knowledgeable. If it's your first time here or tasting Mead, start with a flight or ask for a sample. They have so many excellent options to choose from, I really enjoyed the Miel de Miel Brut Champagne Style Mead. The Mead here is so approachable. Something for everyone. Santé

I had the Pleasure of checking out the pre opening of Orlando's first Meadery. Zymarium Meadery is located in the Mills district & If you're wondering what is mead ? It is Gluten free alcohol made from honey !!! The alcohol ranges from 6% to 14% & the awesome thing is they are using Local honey resources . You'll see on the menu the honey is from places like Clermont, Lakeland etc. My favorites in order were the Golden Helix , Lychee , Mango Lasi, Coconut Grove ( very, very , sweet) , Vanilla Espresso, & the Miel de Miel ( this is a champagne. You can Mix Miel de Miel with Mango Lasi for the mimosa taste ) . They officially open on the 19th of August so def stop by and check them out !! They only have 2 flavors available for purchase in the bottle the others will be in about a month or so before they can package those for selling . Some will be sold in a can vs a bottle . You order individual ounces or try a curated flight or create your own flight . The ambience and customer service was good and staff were very informative about the menu.

I was invited to a soft opening event, and I'm highly impressed! They have a beautiful lounge and bar area in a contemporary black design. The lounge area definitely gives a high society feel to sipping mead! They will offer tours soon if the back area where the mead is mixed, fermented and distilled. The staff is extremely friendly and not abrasive. You can order your beverages at the table from the QR code. The drinks are dropped off and the staff will tell you more about the drinks and Meadery! The staff will check on you periodically, but otherwise give you space to enjoy your drinks without interruption. They have a wonderful selection of Meads ranging from fruity and sweet to bold and strong. My guest got the "Soliloquy of Nectar" which is not mixed with any flavor enhancers, so you can taste the smooth sweetness of the pure mead. I choose the Vanilla Espresso 431, which had a wonderfully bold flavor of Lineage's Guatemalan coffee paired with the back notes of Madagascar Vanilla. It was bold, yet sweet! I can definitely come back for a girls night out, or for a relaxing evening event!

Zymarium hosts Food pop ups this weekend! Zymarium does not serve food options at their location, however, you are welcome to bring food in while you enjoy some delicious mead! Check out what this carefully curated building has to offer & figure out why you NEED MEAD in your life! Favorites: Miel de Miel & Golden Helix (owner Ginger's personal favorite!)

A fun and "different" kind of bar experience to recently drop into the Orlando scene. We had a larger group and it was a short wait to get in on a Saturday night. There was no table service so we got a little confused for a while until we realized we had to use the QR code sitting on the table to order. Our drinks were brought fairly quickly after we did so. Tried a bunch of different meads through the two flights. They are on the mildly sweet to VERY sweet, but that is the nature of mead. The flights are a nice size of pours because I personally don't think I could down a whole glass of the stuff, and was able to share with friends. It's all one rectangular room inside so can get pretty loud, but what bar isn't these days?

I am very happy that I was able to check out Zymarium! I know that mead isn't for everyone, but I enjoy it so I was excited to try out what they have! This place has their menu split up into two types of mead: the session mead (lighter and carbonated) & their still mead (traditional). So even if you're not a mead person but still curious, you might find something you like! Parking in front and in the back of the bar was full so we parked at their additional overflow parking which was a short walk down Lake Highland to get there (website has clear instructions and address if needed). Once we got inside we decided to sit at the bar where we were quickly greeted by the bartender who even went through their whole menu with us! I opted for a flight and ordered the Every Mead is Unique so I could have a sampling of their varieties of both types of meads. My favorite of the day ended up being the Mango Lassi, which was closely followed by their blueberry mead! If you're hungry they will allow you to bring in outside food from one of the many great establishments in the area, and I believe they'll have food trucks sometimes. If you're a fan of the Mills area this is for sure a spot you'll want to check out!

What a delightful and different option on Mills 50. The atmosphere was light, elegant and not too crowded on a Thursday night. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a flight of 5 meads. 3 of which we liked, 2 were not a favorite. But alas everyone has different tastes. The service was impeccable and we were well taken car of. They also allow sampling to determine if you would like a whole glass. The pricing was decent, around $27 for a flight of 5 meads. They also have the option to build you own flight. If you have never had mead, it is a honey based alcohol, which leans heavily into a sweet flavor. If sweets are not for you, this may not be an establishment that caters to your taste. Some suggestions for improvement would be some bar bite options. They do not serve food, however outside food is welcome.

First off this place is really nicely done. The atmosphere is chill, the decor is beautiful, the painted walls the interesting floors all in all you can tell this is a place made by an artist. This was my first time having mead, idk who my server was but he was hilarious. He gave me lots of cool suggestions and notes. Appreciate the guidance. Ended up having a flight. Idk what I was expecting but this exceeded it. It's like beer meets wine meets honey in some. And bourbon meets honey meets idk in others some of them are so unique I can't liken it to anything but I know I liked it. I'm excited to have something this unique in the area. Can't wait to hang here

What an addition to Mills! If you think you don't like mead - let this place change your mind! There are so many different styles, flavor profiles, and types of honey that you will definitely find something you enjoy! I was lucky enough to come during their soft opening and tried 8 different meads. My favorite was the Vanilla Espresso 431, which reminded me of a nice aged port. The servers were knowledgeable and great at explaining everything. For vegans they do offer beer, NA drinks, and a tea based cocktail.

Zymerium has very clearly become a vanguard for the local Orlando culture and art scene. Infusing the love of the community into the extremely comprehensive and diverse selection of meads, it's clear there is something for everyone here. The flavors are incredible and it's refreshing to see the owners take the time to talk to the patrons and help create a community space with a welcoming atmosphere and knowledgeable bartenders. I truly feel that Zymerium elevates the already incredible Mills 50 area, and I hope it continues to inspire ambitious and exciting concepts for the years to come.

This was my first time trying Mead & it was an awesome experience! I think the Mead itself it an acquired taste, it's very sweet but the staff it super helpful with trying to steer you in the right direction to help you find something you'd like! I absolutely lovedddddd the way they decorated for Halloween it's red lighting & overall vibe would make me wanna back just to hangout!

This is a Must stop! Mead is something new to try and if you haven't yet, you are missing out! This is delicious! A stop for us everytime we come to Orlando. The service is great and the ambiance is very goth,dark and moody!
